Research Honors Concentration

The Department of Psychology is very excited to announce the establishment of a special Research Honors Concentration. The continued emphasis on high quality undergraduate research experience by graduate school admissions committees and the manner with which our students have excelled in this area has, in part, led to the development of this new concentration. In addition to the basic requirements established by the School of Mathematics & Sciences (click here for these school-wide requirements), Psychology majors must complete the specific requirements listed below:

Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.2 in Psychology at the time of graduation.
